【语言点精讲】

1. He's so funny. He always makes melaugh.

如强调的是现在仍是如此的情况或习惯，一般用属于现在范畴的时态，如：

He's so funny. He always makes me laugh.（他真逗，他总是引得我笑。）

It's crazy here most of the time.（咱家总是这样乱哄哄的。）

Grandpa always tells us he'll get here by himself.（爷爷总是对我们说他会自己到家。）

2. I hope Grandpa's going to like livingwith us.

like表示喜欢一种经常性行为或状况时，后面用动名词（doing），如:

I hope Grandpa's going to like living with us.（我希望爷爷会喜欢和我们住在一起。）

But I think he'll like being here with the family.（可是我认为他会喜欢在这儿和全家人在一起。）

但表示喜欢一个一次性的行为时则用动词不定式（to do），如Robbie说的:

I'd really like to pick up Grandpa at the railroad station.（我真想到火车站去接爷爷。）

3. That's for sure.

那倒是，我同意你的看法。这是一种口语式的表达方式。

4. That's a neat idea.

那是个好主意。这里neat相当于"great, fine"，这是一种口语式的表达方式。

5. I've got it! I have a picture ofGrandpa and Dad and me in my wallet.

注意"Grandpa and Dad andme"中人的排列顺序。在说话的时候，如果同时提到几个人，应该是年长的在前，年幼的在后。如果同时说到自己和别人，应该是别人在前，自己在后。

6. the Fathers and Sons' Breakfast

许多美国中学每年都要给学生安排一次“父子餐”活动。这一天父亲专门到学校来跟孩子一起共进早餐、午餐或晚餐，并一起拍照纪念。

7. He's something!

他很了不起！他是个人物！这里的something相当于"great, wonderful"，这是一种口语的用法。
